BUENOS AIRES, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Argentina increased its dollar-denominated Bonar 2024 sovereign bond issuance by up to $5 billion, the government said in the official gazette on Tuesday, the third time it has increased the bond in a little over two months.

The bond was originally sold in 2014 for $3.25 billion with a 8.75 percent coupon. At the time the country was locked out of the international capital markets due to a debt default dispute that was resolved last year, soon after President Mauricio Macri came to power in late 2015.

The government had increased the Bonar 2024 bond issuance by $4 billion in early August, inking a $2.7 billion repo deal, and by $4 billion in late June, along with a $1.5 billion repurchase deal. (Reporting by Hernan Nessi; Writing by Luc Cohen)
